  • Aurora in Arizona!

    May 10, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    There was a pretty massive solar event tonight. Most of the higher latitudes saw string aurora activity. There was a low chance we'd see anything, but we stayed up a while anyway and were rewarded with a faint green glow in the horizon.

    The camera brought out more detail, the violet color want visible to the naked eye.

  • Capital Reef NP: Cathedral Valley

    May 16, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    A trip up the Hartnet Road leads to the Bentonite Hills and on to two valleys with beautiful rock formations. We made our way up to the campsite, grabbed a spot, and then hiked back to the Upper South Desert and Upper Cathedral Valley overlooks. Back at the campsite we met Libby, a bike packer who we invited to share our campsite, making a new friend and paying forward trail kindness. An evening hike on the Cathedrals Trail, but just a little too late for the light, and an early morning start to see the Temple of the Sun and Moon.

    Capital Reef is a pretty amazing spot.
